I think Biden stopped taking the online anti-voting Left seriously (if he was ever aware of them) when the people that spent 4 years saying Obama’s drone usage made him worse than Trump in order to make their Both Sides arguments made nary a peep when Biden stopped nearly all US drone operations.

mark carney is a near-genius, but how that transfers to politics is unclear, neither in the space of charisma nor in actual policy—he might be the kind to dilute the ideas he likes to mere "nudging"

working on my paper which will have an underpinning of the fact that criminal law is inherently unfair to women bc it was structured around men and their experiences and i just started reading a paper on that which started off by talking abt how when abigail adams wrote to john adams and asked him to not forget women when writing the constitution he wrote back to her saying “we know better than to repeal our masculine systems” which i think is so exemplary of the way that men still think to this day. even men who claim to be feminists or that they want “equality” for women have a point in their heads where feminism is “going too far.” and that is bc underneath it all they WANT the system to continue to oppress women and uplift them bc it is to their benefit. to men feminism is abt giving women the illusion of equality and believing that they will be too dumb to recognize that their “masculine systems” still exist underneath the illusion. there is not a single man that doesn’t know better than to promote a feminism that actually seeks to structure society in a way that does not other women and cater to men. this is why you will see many men participate in liberal feminism (feminism that only seeks to gain women equality within the existing societal structures) while no men have been overtly involved in radical feminism (feminism that seeks to dismantle the existing structures and rebuild them to create a system where women are not oppressed). men are not allies to women and they never will be. they know better.

I really don't get the debate over access to gendered spaces based on one's assumed AGAB or passability or whatnot being a privilege. Personally I prefer to avoid gendered spaces entirely and I don't really think they need to exist. Someone deciding that I am allowed in a 'woman's space' on paper and a trans woman is not doesn't actually benefit me because I am still going to be likely kicked out of that space based on my appearance. And vice versa when it comes to men's spaces, from what I know. The legality does matter to an extent, but it's a bit of a moot point when the space is fundamentally inaccessible for trans people due to the people in it regardless of the stated policy. Which IME is almost always the case.

Hey everyone!

So that annotated bibliography I mentioned the other day is for a research paper I have been working on. I currently need survey participates to gather information on how people have access to local news and how it affects their voting decisions and awareness.

If anyone could fill this out it will be greatly appreciated. I need 30 people to fill out responses by the end of the week. It should be accessible to everyone and can relate to you wherever you live (there is one question about national news and i listed American news outlets but please just apply it to your particular news outlets)

Thank you in advance and I appreciate any and all responses!

Congratulations on graduating! That must be an amazing feeling.

thank youuuu <3

technically i won't be graduating until the end of the year because i finished past the cut off date for my uni's mid-year graduation ceremonies, but i'm happy to have finished regardless.

it's been a really difficult and long process, and i had to delay finishing my degree by 2 years due to a long string of Life Events (Not Fun) that got in the way of me completing the last 2 courses i had left in my degree as of mid-2022, so i'm glad i finally managed to get to the end of a semester without some random bullshit stopping me for the first time in several years lmao.

i dropped out of high school after i got sick, and i thought i was gonna have to drop out of uni too, despite all the work i've put in to pull my life together. it really means a lot to me that i managed to make it through to the end this time, even though it was tough to keep my head above water sometimes.
